Oakwood Smoked Trout and Potato Salad

BY RICHARD CORNISH

A beautiful salad to make the most of the region’s excellent potatoes and our smoked trout from Oakwood Smokehouse. Easy to make, very delicious and perfect with a glass of white wine or a lightly hopped beer.

Serves 4

 

Ingredients

  • 600g new season’s potatoes

  • ½ bunch dill, chopped

  • ½ bunch parsley, chopped

  • 125ml extra virgin olive oil

  • 40ml cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon French mustard

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 Oakwood Smokehouse smoked trout

  • Lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon capers

Peel the potatoes. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water over high heat— cook for 20 minutes or until just soft when a skewer is inserted. Drain and allow to cool until warm. Meanwhile, make the dill and honey dressing by placing the dill, parsley, oil, vinegar, honey, and mustard in a food processor until smooth. Slice the potatoes into rounds and place them on a plate. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the dressing. Remove the flesh from the fish and arrange it attractively around the potatoes. Sprinkle over the lemon zest and capers. Serve with a chilled Passing Clouds chardonnay.
